Comrades, it is still OK to leave me behind. I'm still not as fierce as you but after following you all this long it's mostly because I'm tired.
I'm old now and no longer find it entertaining, TBH.

I'm pretty pissed off at what the regime is doing to decent members of the Guard & our military branches and on behalf of my family members of blessed memory who served in WWI, WWII, Korea. Mango Mussolini and the "Secretary of War" are putting them in a horrible position & tarnishing their service.

Usually not mine. I'm only a registered Democrat for a short time every other year so I can vote in my closed primary state. So I get way fewer requests than my husband.

WFP is building a political home for all of us who see bigotry, bailouts, and business as usual in our political system and ask, "Is that the best we can do?"

I would like to believe that outrage from constituents over their betrayal might turn them from their intended course, but I don't.

The Gross Old Pedophiles will never vote for ACA subsidies but Trump's little Johnson probably won't even hold a vote.
The Democrats decided 50,000 deaths* was an acceptable price for us to pay for a "winning" midterm message. (Est based on est. # people will run uninsured without subsidies.)

That's kabuki theater. He's the Minority Leader. His Whip voted for it. Shaheen said leadership knew the whole time. Conveniently none of the 8 who voted yes are up for re-election in 2026.
He either coordinated the 8 fall guys OR he's completely inept. Schumer and Durbin both need to go.

The statewide party in Oregon has recently been working on organizing a local "wolf pack". I really liked the organizer & the people I met.

No. How we wish we could. Representatives are up for election every two years; Senators every six years. The 100 senators are much more protected and none the 8 fall guys Schumer picked are up for re-election in 2026.

They know they aren't going to win in December if they even get a vote, which they won't. They are planning on keeping ACA subsidies as an election issue for the mid-terms. A familiar strategy to any woman (see also codify Roe). Also, keeping the sacred filibuster.

Really. You're going to tell us what to do?
We're the ones paying the bill.
Whose lives are on the line.
Who are being abducted and deported.
Who keep showing up to fight ICE
We are the 7+ million who showed up and then voted
Get rid of Schumer.
Clean your house, get it in order, then listen.

This is the way. I left in 2016 but I live in a closed primary state so I change my affiliation from Working Families to Democratic until after the election and then change back.
I get a lot fewer fundraising messages than my husband too, even though I'm the one who usually makes the donations.
